Defining the note mapping with this script is far more easy than opening all R5K windows :P

Thanks for sharing !

(I think thsi script is the first to use drag and drgop from file GFX feature !)

For naming, so this one is in fact RS5K manager background, and you had RS5K manager (las v 1.26). Why this one is called background ?
I can see several difference between the two (the pattern mod for eg in the old script)... The new one is meant to replace the previous ? Or are they complementary ?

From v1.50 there were several serious changes in the code and structure (using external functions) so any version below 1.50 is 'obsolete'. 'Background' was added to some scripts to avoid confution for some guys talking they aren`t expect scripts tracking something in background. It was probably enough to change name only in description tag in ReaPack header.

1. Can you make it so that double clicking on cell opens corresponding rs5k plugin, for quick access to sample settings?
2. Can you make it possible to duplicate cell, keeping all setings of original cell, but on a new midi key?
3. Can you add "obey note offs" tick for each cell, as a knob on top, near all other controls for each cell?

BUG: If you change any control for cell, it erases "Obey note-offs" setting in corresponding RS5K instance.

MPL do you have a linux machine? I have the impression that some scripts aren't as crossplatform as i'd like them to be. Maybe I'll troubleshoot later but i have the impression that drag and drop from media explorer isn't that accurate as it should be.

No, I don't have Linux machine to test. Can you be more specific, what is inaccurate?
Some versions ago script didn't calculated dropped note right (note before or note after expected note/pad).

MPL, I noticed with RS5k manager, that if I duplicate instance of RS5k, and manually increase Note Start/Note End in second instance +1, then duplicaded sample appears in RS5k manager as new cell.

Could you please make a script to do this in one step:
1. Duplicate last instance of RS5k on channel.
2. Increase Note Start/Note End by +1.

This would be really handy for setting slices from a loop. Load loop, set sample start, duplicate to new cell, again set new sample start, and so on.

BTW, did you catch my bug report from yesterday about RS5k manager erasing note-off status? This one is really annoying.

Ok, I just updated my SWS, uninstalled the RS5K manager and its functions folder, then resync'd. Still the same thing. No layers, and dragging a sample to a pad that already has a sample, replaces it in the rs5k instance, but the pad still shows the first sample's name.

Bug - if you drag a sample to a pad to replace a sample, the name doesn't change

Nitpick - on the mixer page double-click to reset the volume doesn't work well. *for me* it accidentally resets too often when I just want to audition the sample. alt-click would be better IMO.

Nitpick - Release knob in RS5k is really a fade out, I think reversing the knob direction would work make it more clear to the user that the sound will fade out sooner when used. Easier to visualize turning down (counter clockwise) to adjust fade out.

Bug - if you drag a sample to a pad to replace a sample, the name doesn't change

It's the name of midi note and not a bug really. After you've changed sample, you should open/close midi editor and then it will be updated. But I agree, it should be updated after changing the sample.

BUG: Doubleclick on pads to float rs5k instance is not working here. I enabled it under Mouse Modifiers, but is not working.

EDIT: it works ONCE after getting slices from REX, then it stops.
EDIT2: Hmm, sometimes it works on some pads. Now on pad 37 works every time, but not on pad 36...
EDIT3: Cannot figure out pattern, sometimes works fine on pad, then it stops, then works again...

BUG: it is not working properly with REX files. LoopStart/LoopEnd are not set correctly.
1. import rex file to track
2. Use command Item: Explode REX item into beat slices - file is sliced on track and slices are visible, but net separately movable, they are grouped together.
3. Ungroup items, so they are separately movable
4. rs5k manager: Export selected items to rs5k instances
5. MIDI file is created, all instances are populated, but LoopStart/LoopEnd are not set properly, so every slice starts playing from beginning.

EDIT: Step 3. ungrouping is not necessary - it seems to be the same if ungrouped or not.

REQUEST: Show pitch shift value in semitones on pad, or on pitch knob.

Now with drag drop it is so easy to make copies of sample, and pitch shift them. It would be really helpful if picth shift would be easily visible on each pad, and on knob. On pad it can be hidden if there is no pich shift, and only show if it is there.

Also knobs on top show value only when it is changed. Can you make it so that they show value when mouse hovers above button? Or at least if the mouse only clicks, without adjustment. Or add option to show values all the time, at least for pitch. As it is now, you have to slightly adjust value of knob to see what it is set to.

Wow! Loving this thing, its really impressive! I truly was just thinking that something like this would be an amazing addition to rs5k, because i love using it, i just hate routing it and having too click around a lot to find all my separate tracks.

I think my only feature request right now would be for pitch-bend in the controls, and to have sample names continue onto the next line rather than the ellipses that appear when it won't all fit on one line. I'd like to use a more readable font size, but to also be able to see my whole sample name.

Could the waveform display not be beyond knobs as shown in your screenshot ?
Having it on its own line would be more readable.

Also, the waveform lacks a bit of contrast IMHO, is the GUI themable somehow ?

At some point, being able to set custom colors schemes for each notes could be nice for people who have colored pads :P (it is not actually my case, but it can be a fancy feature which I imagie can be smooth)
